    Thanks Chuck, that sounds good but not sure if Wizard is available here. Agemax, what exactly is the furniture wax/polish you use?

                    Got my emblems today from Boulevard (3 weeks). Wondering if anyone here has put them on before. The back of them emblem that sticks against the cover of engine has 3M adhesive tape. My question...is that enough or should I be adding some type of glue as well?
                    Thanks guys,
                    Trevor

                      believe me, once they are on there,they are on for good. just make sure the cover is spotless clean. use brake cleaner or similar to remove any grease or residues.

                      make sure you get it on right first time!!!!

                        Lol...thanks! Good to know that I don't need to put any "goop" on them. I will make sure the covers are spotless. And the emblems and covers have a convenient little "cut" too help you line them up.

                          yep, the amount of people i have heard of who didnt realise that little cut out was there. needless to say, they had to buy another new emblem!

                              Rob (AZR) helped me put in new progressive springs last night, not quite have them right yet but we are working on it (thanks for your help Rob). There were a few things that I wanted to get done before the nice weather hits. I got my seat recoverd, had some engine covers polished, forks polished, sanded and painted my front dics, cleaned up my header and pipe and had header bolts and brake bolts plated.
                              Here is how it looks now....very happy. Now just have to finnish the springs and she is ready for the summer!





                              Should be only a few more rides and it will hit the 50000km mark!
